[karmic] Latest Amarok upgrade causes script exceptions on startup

[Michael Marley]

Binary package hint: amarok

After the latest Amarok upgrade on Kubuntu Karmic, Amarok complains on each startup that the "Librivox.org" and "Lyricwiki" scripts threw exceptions. Amarok itself still works properly, though i doubt the scripts would.

[Lydia Pintscher (lydia-pintscher)]

Can you please start Amarok from commandline with "amarok -d"?
This very much sounds like the QtScriptgenerator isn't installed or not working. Missing dependency? Wrong install location?

[Michael Marley (mamarley)]

OK, here is the output:

I've got the exact same issue with a completely patched Karmic (5/24). I'm supposing the following are the cause of the two exception windows:

amarok: BEGIN: bool AmarokScript::ScriptImporter::loadQtBinding(const QString&)
amarok: importing qt bindings "qt.core"
amarok: END__: bool AmarokScript::ScriptImporter::loadQtBinding(const QString&) - Took 0.0041s
amarok: [ScriptManager] [ERROR!] Script Error: "14:23:46 Error: Unable to import qt.core: no such extension on Line: 24"
amarok: BEGIN: void ScriptManager::slotStopScript(QString)
amarok: no such service to remove

amarok: BEGIN: bool AmarokScript::ScriptImporter::loadQtBinding(const QString&)

amarok: [ScriptManager] [ERROR!] Script Error: "14:24:58 Error: Unable to import qt.core: no such extension on Line: 26"

I think this was probably fixed in this upload:
amarok (2:2.1mysql5.1.30-0ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * Debian/control:
    - amarok depends on libqtscript4-qtbindings

I can confirm that it was fixed. Thanks!

I'm having this same problem:

Amarok version 2:2.1.1mysql5.1.30-0ubuntu1
libqtscript4-qtbindings version 0.1.0-3

amarok: [ScriptManager] The Log For the script that is the borked: "22:05:12 Script Started!
22:05:12 Error: Unable to import qt.core: no such extension on Line: 14
22:05:12 Script ended!

amarok: END__: bool ScriptManager::slotRunScript(QString, bool) - Took 67s
amarok: END__: void ScriptManager::slotConfigChanged(bool) - Took 67s
amarok: END__: void ScriptManager::findScripts() - Took 67s

[Randall Leeds (randall-leeds)]

This is still a problem on my box and there appear to be at least two bugs.

Amarok 2.1.1orig-0ubuntu4:

1) No longer depends on libqtscript4-qtbindings
2) Even with libqtscript4-qtbindings installed I still cannot load scripts

Running most recent Karmic updates. Changing the status of the bug to reflect this.

[Technowizard (technowizard)]

I still get the the exceptions on each startup and when starting amarok sript console (Amarok 2.2.0-0ubuntu1).

[Technowizard (technowizard)]

The last updates seem to have solved the problem. I don't get exceptions anymore.
